Golfing Through the Generations

Celebrating the Start of the Masters and My Family’s Connection to Golf

As my career grew, the opportunity to combine the sport I love with my job presented itself. I had the honor of offering chiropractic care to a number of professional golfers (and professional tennis players, too). To even be in the same realm as professional golfers is pretty cool, and to this day, I’m proud to offer my expertise to a few private golfing clients. Of course, my personal and professional ties to golfing don’t mean I’m great at the sport. In fact, I’d say I’m pretty horrible at it! But I still love to play, and really, that’s all that counts. I’ll leave the record making and scoring under par to the real pros. I believe the Masters is the greatest sporting event of the year, and I look forward to watching the best golfers in the world take part in some pretty cool traditions. For starters, it’s an invitation- only event, and they don’t hesitate to send a reminder that they can revoke invitations at any time. (Those who follow the sport know this is something John Daly needs a reminder about!) The tournament always takes place at Augusta National Golf Club, where a champions locker room remains secret to everyone who hasn’t won a Masters Tournament. The winners are honored at the following Masters Tournament after their win, as they get to choose

As the best of the best in golf prepare to take the stage at the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia this April, I can’t help but be reminded of my family. Golfing is ingrained in my family tree. My grandpa, Earl Martin, was a professional golfer, and my mom spent her childhood working at his driving range next door to a golf course in Los Angeles. This was so long ago that they had a Model-T as the picker, retrieving all the balls golfers hit! In those days, golfers would walk through the course with their caddies, hiking their gear from hole to hole. When golf carts were invented and mass-marketed — they originated at a bike shop just down the street from Grandpa’s range — my grandpa’s driving range became a hub to rent carts for the course. That was a big thing for my grandpa and his business. When my mom and dad met, my grandpa introduced my dad to golf, and my brother, sister, and I spent many a day on the course, eating dinner at the country club that night. We never missed a chance to get on the course, and even if our parents didn’t force the sport on us, we couldn’t deny that few things compare to standing on the green, overlooking the wide expanse of hills and mountains. There’s nothing else like it. It’s a little piece of heaven.

the menu for the big dinner the day before the tournament starts. Of course, it’s also always awesome to see all the pro golfers out on the course with their kids for the Tournament Par-3. The kids play the part of caddies perfectly, wearing the traditional white jumpsuits as they follow their parents on the course. If you’ve never seen the Masters or tried golfing, I’d encourage you to give it a shot. There’s nothing I love more than spending a day on the links with my sons and their grandfather. It’s a sport we can all do together, and that makes it all worth it — regardless of how many bogeys or eagles I hit.

And Better Business Will Follow ‘START WITH WHY’

DO YOU NEED SPACE TO START YOUR BUSINESS? Make Your Dream a Reality by Visiting Your Local Makerspace

“There are only two ways to influence human behavior: You can manipulate it, or you can inspire it.” –Simon Sinek

It can often be hard to clearly articulate what you do for a living. That means it can be difficult to explain your vision to potential clients and customers, which then makes it harder to convince them to purchase your product or services. In “Start With Why,” author Simon Sinek illustrates the importance of explaining to others why you do the business you do rather than explaining what you do or how you do it. Sinek argues that when people start figuring out the “why” in what they do, it inspires action from others in a way that discussing the “what” can’t. Talking about the “why” engages emotions; analyzing the “what” is purely logical. When you try to sell something to people based on “what,” you rely on specific manipulations like price and product details. But if you help people understand why you do what you do by revealing the real purpose and intention behind your reasons, you build a sense of trust. This trust leads to loyalty, and loyalty means that person comes back to do business with you and also refers your business to others. This is how businesses grow! Figuring out your “why” is a process of discovery, not invention. In order to discover it, you can turn to three key strategies. • Look backward at the original motivation for starting your business. What specific problem were you trying to solve, and why was it important to you to solve it? • Look outward by asking those around you why they spend time with you or why a customer buys from you. You can learn why people are drawn to you and your business this way.

As an entrepreneur, starting your own business and chasing your dreams is an exciting prospect. But as you begin your small-business journey, questions involving costs, sales, and distribution will fill your head, and their answers often require time-consuming research that might feel discouraging. It may seem like you have to build everything on your own, but luckily, there are communities all over the country for aspiring entrepreneurs to come together and help each other achieve success. They’re called makerspaces, and there is probably one located near you! Makerspaces are community workshops where creative minds and entrepreneurs can build products that may never see the light of day otherwise. They exist in a variety of environments, including stand-alone offices and shared spaces inside libraries and schools. They provide access to a wide range of resources, including power tools, sewing machines, 3D printers, and so much more. In addition to equipment, most makerspaces host classes, like the basics of welding or bookkeeping, for tradespeople and entrepreneurs alike. Makerspaces also act as hubs for collaboration. Do you need an engineer to guide the design of your product? How about a graphic designer to brainstorm with about your logo? You'll likely find them in makerspaces because these communities support passionate people from a variety of backgrounds. In addition to resources and know-how, members can use the space to build prototypes at a fraction of what their development would typically cost. In an interview with NPR, Mark Hatch, author of “The Maker Movement Manifesto: Rules for Innovation in the New World of Crafters, Hackers, and Tinkerers,” said, "When you move the cost of entrepreneurship from $100,000 to $2,000–$4,000, you completely change the operating terrain for entrepreneurs and inventors." While membership costs to makerspaces generally range from $40–$175 per month, the price is well worth the investment. And if you find one in your local public library, membership may even be included with your library membership. If you’re struggling to start your business, know that you’re not alone. With the support and collaboration you can find in a makerspace, you can make your dreams a reality. To find a space near you, visit Makerspaces.Make.co.

• Look inward by

identifying a bigger vision that you wish to contribute to. What do you believe

in? What really matters to you?

“Start With Why” teaches readers how to go about discovering their “why,” then instructs them on how to effectively use that information to help their business. It also helps them unleash their business’s vast potential that has remained untapped until now.

If you already recycle, then go a step further and create a composting program to capture your food waste. Add compost collection bins to your office and check with your city about composting options. If your area lacks commercial compost, then an employee with a home compost pile might love to have extra scraps! 3. Swap out your plastics. Take inventory of everything your office uses and start making green swaps. Ditch plastic silverware in the kitchen and instead opt for a reusable set to save money and emissions. 4. Consider ways to cut travel. Transportation accounted for more than 24% of global carbon dioxide emissions

Usually, we hear about carbon footprints in the context of reducing our own impact on the planet. But did you know that businesses, not individuals, are actually the biggest polluters out there? Even when you add everyone on Earth together, their environmental impact hardly stacks up against big business.
